Susan Miller says US intelligence chief’s allegations were based on misrepresentations of discoveries made by her team about Russian actionsA former CIA officer who helped lead the intelligence assessments over alleged Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election has said Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is ignorant of the practices of espionage after she accused Barack Obama and his national security team of “treasonous conspiracy” against Donald Trump.Susan Miller, the agency’s head of counter-intelligence at the time of the election, told the Guardian that Gabbard’s allegations were based on false statements and basic misrepresentations of discoveries made by...

The US Census Bureau has admitted that it made some serious errors in its 2020 counts. There were significant under-counts in Republican-leaning states like Florida (-3.48%) and Texas (-1.92%), while blue states such as New York (+3.44%) and Rhode Island (+5.05%) were over-counted. These miscounts led to an incorrect apportionment of House seats and Electoral College votes. To correct these errors President Trump said "I instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate census based on modern-day facts and figures. Since the Constitution requires the census for the purpose of apportioning the membership...

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg cannot move forward with possible contempt proceedings against the Trump administration. The case involves the administration’s alleged violation of an emergency court order blocking the administration from using a 1798 law to summarily deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador — the latest in an evolving, high-stakes court clash that has played out for months in various courts. Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, two Trump appointees on the majority-Democrat bench, sided with the Trump administration Friday in blocking Boasberg’s contempt...

Attorney General Pam Bondi has all but disappeared from Fox News in recent weeks, after being all over the network during the first few months of the Trump administration. Bondi’s last appearance as a guest on Fox News was with Sean Hannity on June 30th, days before her DOJ and the FBI released a joint memo concluding that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and did not keep a “client list.” Bondi subsequently found herself on the receiving end of a firestorm of anger from the MAGA base, which had been assured by President Donald Trump, Bondi, and others in the administration...

"Attorney General Pam Bondi directed federal prosecutors to launch a grand jury investigation into accusations that members of the Obama administration manufactured intelligence about Russia’s 2016 election interference. Stephanie Sy reports on the latest development in the lengthy saga and Geoff Bennett discusses more with former prosecutor and intel official Steven Cash."

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday signed an order for a federal prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury to mull charges related to the Russia collusion hoax, multiple sources confirmed to Just the News. The move follows Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sending criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. The convening of a grand jury does not guarantee the filing of charges. Rather, it is the job of the grand jury to recommend charges if they believe sufficient evidence exists to justify a prosecution. Gabbard, in July, stated that she had sent evidence to the DOJ...

On January 28, President Trump issued an executive order declaring that "it is our policy to not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support gender transition for people under 19.

The Office of Special Counsel has launched an investigation into Jack Smith for possible violations of the Hatch Act. Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel in 2022 by Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Trump just one day after Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House. The Office of Special Counsel opened the investigation after Senator Tom Cotton earlier this week sent a letter alleging Jack Smith’s actions politically harmed Trump during the 2024 election. The New York Post reported: The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first...

The FBI and other government agencies have a copy of the video from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell on the night he died, which includes the so-called “missing minute” from the version of the tape that was released publicly.

We will...

The director of national intelligence gave the Justice Department little warning before she demanded an investigation. President Trump made clear this week that Tulsi Gabbard was back in his good graces. A few weeks ago, Mr. Trump excoriated Ms. Gabbard, one of his top intelligence officials, over a video she filmed during a trip to Asia that he saw as self-promotional, and she was left out of some meetings in the lead-up to the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to two people with knowledge of what happened. But on Tuesday...

The conservative legal group, Article III Project, is filing a judicial complaint against a federal judiciary panel of mostly Democrat-appointed judges after they decided not to extend Alina Habba’s term as President Trump’s interim New Jersey US attorney. “House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries corruptly gave 17 New Jersey U.S. district judges their marching orders: ‘Fire New Jersey U.S. Attorney @AlinaHabba,’ “wrote Article III Project president Mike Davis on X following the panel’s decision. “And these New Jersey activist judges—15 of whom were appointed by Obama and Biden—saluted,” Davis continued. “This violated Canons 2, 3, and 5 of the Code of...

I do have a note from the Attorney General—Attorney General Pam Bondi—that I wanted to share, which is the following: ‘I’m sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today, especially Matt and Mercy Schlapp, Senator Blackburn, and the wonderful team at the Tim Tebow Foundation. Unfortunately, I...

Senate Republicans are not happy with House conservatives they view as hijacking the congressional agenda to make the disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein-related files their burning focus. GOP senators say the matter should be left to President Trump and the Department of Justice and want House lawmakers to pay more attention to finding a way to avoid a government shutdown at the end of September. Instead, House Republicans on the Rules Committee have brought their chamber to a partial standstill by refusing to vote down Democratic amendments to force the publication of Epstein-related files. The House is about to leave town...

A House panel Wednesday voted in favor of subpoenaing former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., offered a motion during a House Oversight Committee subcommittee hearing to call on Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to subpoena people with possible links to Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former associate of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard released her second batch of previously undisclosed documents on Wednesday morning that include more proof that Barack Obama directly gave the order to publish Russia Collusion hoax knowing there was no proof to back it up. Obama was behind the coup against President-elect and then President Trump that sunk the US government into turmoil for at least three years. Today’s document release follows Friday’s document dump by ODNI Tulsi Gabbard of a declassified December 2016 presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax. Barack Obama knew it was a hoax and he...

9 Likely Reasons the Epstein “Client List” Is Withheld 1. No Formal List Exists The term “client list” may be misleading. Names are likely scattered across flight logs, depositions, and evidence files, without a single official document labeled as such. 2. Avoiding Legal Risk Releasing names could trigger defamation lawsuits, privacy claims, or legal exposure for missteps in how the investigation has been handled. 3. Victim Protection Even with redactions, disclosing documents risks identifying survivors or retraumatizing those who testified under sensitive conditions. 4. Avoiding Exposure of Record Destruction Acknowledging that a list once existed but was destroyed under a...
